The Holy Bible, by Chucklehead Games
Why make games about the Bible?
Ten Good Men in Sodom
(Warning: may be religiously offensive. Contains murder and some unwanted touching, with a goofy tone that some may find trivializing. Dwells on a particularly odious Old Testament passage.)
A local two-player game (i.e., two people at the same keyboard). Play as God, who's come to earth in the form of a couple of dudes, and have a blast exploring the ancient Biblical city of Sodom while you judge the righteous and the wicked!
This is a medium-sized game by Chucklehead standards.
What you'll need to play:
- A friend who likes video games, is willing to sit right next to you, and won't get offended by this stuff
- Adobe Flash player
- A QWERTY keyboard
Naked Noah
(Warning: may be religiously offensive. Contains cartoon nudity.)
A simple, local two-player game (i.e., two people at the same keyboard). After saving the world during the Great Flood, Noah started to make wine... and now he's passed out naked in his tent! Can you cover him up without looking, or will you be tempted to sneak a peak?
This game was an experiment to see what was possible in Scratch, a dead-simple prototyping tool created by MIT. Scratch is meant to be an educational program to teach programming basics, but with a little work you can make a full-fledged Bible game. After developing Naked Noah in about two days, we declare that Scratch earns the Chucklehead seal of approval. Download it onto your kids' computers, hand them a copy of the Bible, and prepare to witness a moral awakening.
This is a tiny game by Chucklehead standards.
What you'll need to play:
- A tolerant friend who's willing to sit right next to you
- The ability to run Java applets in your browser
- A QWERTY keyboard
Cain Vs. Abel
(Warning: may be religiously offensive. Contains murder and some blood.)
A simple, local two-player game (i.e., two people at the same keyboard). It's the world's first murder: God has accepted Abel's offering but rejected Cain's with no explanation, and now Cain is out for blood! Make or dodge the killing blow by reacting faster than your opponent -- as soon as you figure out which role you're playing.
